MARILIA-SP 1930s, 1940s & 1950s: July 2011

Marilia-SP Cidade-moça (Maiden city)

Giovanni Battista Darin's family moved to Marilia-SP in November 1927 before the place was a municipality. They hailed from São José do Rio Pardo-SP in the northern part of the São Paulo state and settled in a wooden house built in the corner of Rua Minas Gerais [nowadays Rua 9 de Julho] and Rua São Luiz.

In 1932 they moved to a wooden house on Avenida Rio Branco; later on in the early 40s they moved to a wooden house on Rua Campos Salles, 350.

Circa 1948-1949, Giovanni Darin built a brick house on Campos Salles, which still stands today.

Here are some of the Family's photos through the decades.
